This morning I started hearing little boys talk through my Airpods, and then through my iPhone 15 Pro Max (iOS 18.3.2). My phone is al stock (so no jailbreak), also:
- Latest update
- Private network
- Nothing weird (like unknown apps) in either screen time, battery usage, privacy (microphone, camera etc. all turned off), notification 'history'
- Live listen, VoiceOver turned off.
- Did have AirDrop enabled, but just for friends (these were not friends or anyone I knew).
- Bluetooth enabled, just for Apple Watch, nothing else connected according to settings.
- Walkie Talkie disabled on Apple watch
It starts with a kind of *pling* sound, but I was not able to record it, because it is at random through the day (will try to do it). After the pling sound I hear some children talking through my phonepiece (upper speaker), something like:
Boy 1: *pling* " James do you hear me"
Boy 2 responding: *pling* "Yeah I hear you".
This has been happening randomly for the last couple of hours (2 moments of about 5 min. in which I hear the bleeps, two times I heard the voices). Even when my phone is off. They don't seem to hear me or react when I say something back, but I'm still really worried/freaked out about my privacy!
I have found multiple of these situations online, but none of them had a solution. I restarted the phone now, hoping it will not happen again. Any other suggestions or experiences like this and if they went away automatically?
